Ratings and reviews

It was acceptably mediocre until it stopped working. It no longer was letting me allow apps on my child's device. Anything flagged by it's filters was not allowed to be exempted. I was able to do it in the beginning but in less than a month that feature stopped working. I tried reinstall but it was no longer syncing to my child's device. Very frustrating. I'm switching so something else. The Microsoft family app was all i needed but that isn't compatible with the new device we purchased.

Works great. One thing which bugs me is that I want the app to be as "in the background" as possible, and to just kick in when needed. But there's this floating icon/button which I can't get rid of. The button doesn't seem to do anything when it gets pressed, but nonetheless it is there on top of everything, in the way. I can turn it off by going into the accessibility menu in settings, but doing that stops the app from working as intended. Very frustrating. Please let me get rid of the button.

This app has been incredibly helpful to our family. The main feature we'd like to see is a single switch to temporarily block a device (instead of changing the whole schedule). The device usage view in the Android mobile app is also very difficult to use. The website is much easier to understand. Even with these two, we will absolutely renew. The app is invaluable.
